Your options are endless. Want a buffet counter? How about building it into a niche or into the wall? Or perhaps you’d prefer a more free-standing look.

Whatever your need, we can help you maximize your space and wants.

1—Cooktop:   Perhaps the island is the only place for a cooktop, or you just want a spot for a second cook.   Consider raising the back of the island to create a bar area that also keeps guests at a safe distance from the burners.

2—Dishwashers:   Conventional dishwashers with a drop-down door can take up floor space.   Consider slide-out dishwasher drawers, which conserve space, but are more expensive.

3—Refrigerator:   An under-counter fridge makes a great place to store beverages and other items that guests can help themselves to without having to get in the main refrigerator.  Choose either a swing-out door or slide-out drawers, depending your floor space around your island.

4—Sinks:  Consider either a full sink for preparation and clean-up, or a small one for rinsing veggies.

5—Storage:   Need wine storage?  Or perhaps you need extra space for appliances, open shelving for books or displays, or an open lower shelf for pet feeders.

6– Style:   Do you want your island to blend in with the rest of the kitchen cabinetry, or do you want it to be it’s own piece of “furniture”? Consider the type of legs or feet you want to add to it.  Do you want a contrasting paint or stain color?

1—Storage Options:

2—Display Space: The days of storing a plant above a cabinet are over.  These days it’s all about creating nooks and open space for displaying ornate glass pieces , art, or some other collectible.  See a great example of display space here.

3—High-Quality Finish: A great finish can take a cabinet from ordinary to a real work of art.  Trends now are leaning toward a stain and glaze combination—accentuating grooves and embellishments.

4—The Look Of Furniture: Adding “feet” to the base of an island or section of cabinetry gives the welcoming feel of furniture.  Decorative molding on the top of upper cabinets also does the trick.  Carry that same free-standing look to other rooms in the house for a look of continuity.

5—Open Cabinetry: Many people now are opting for an open feel in their cabinetry.  This is accomplished by creating shelves instead of boxes, putting glass in cabinet doors, or simply removing the doors altogether. See an example of open cabinetry here.

6– Accent Cabinetry: Consider setting cabinetry off with varying colors or woods.  For example, an island that is a different color than the rest of the kitchen.  To tie the look in, match the dining or breakfast table with the island.  You can also paint a section of cabinetry a different color than the rest of the cabinetry in the room.

In a very short time, we will be rolling out our new website! We invite you to come in and take a look around. We have absolutely loved our current website and how it shows our custom cabinetry, and think you’ll find that the new one will have much of the same classy look. And we think you’ll also like the new things we’ve added. In the mean time, you may visit our current website (www.visioncabinetry.com) before it’s pulled, for a final bon voyage
